Unsanitary environment

Structural damage

Flooding

Damage to carpets and floorboards

Damaged furniture and appliances

Irreparable drain damage

Thankfully, all of these are avoidable.

Blocked Drain Technology

Technology is constantly progressing when it comes to blocked drains. Through the various stages of investigation, detection, diagnosis and repair, there is always new and improved methods designed to enhance the results in these areas.

CCTV Drain Camera’s

All of our technicians’ trucks are equipped with CCTV Drain Camera’s that enable them to position and manoeuvre a camera within the drain. This technology allows them to see exactly what the problem is via a video monitor at ground level.

Service Location

We use highly advanced locating equipment that allows our technicians to pinpoint exactly where drains and other services lie, by tracking an electrical current that has been either attached to the service, or inserted into the drain. This enables us to accurately establish the exact location of the service we’re tracking as well as the depth. It’s pretty clever.We can even locate Telstra cables, gal pipes and electrical conduit!

High Pressure Water Jetting Equipment

In addition to the drain camera’s and pipe locators, our vehicles are also fitted with ‘High Pressure Water Jetters’, which not only removes everything from silt and residue, right up to solid matter, tree roots and foreign objects.

Periodical Maintenance

We also offer a preventative program, that schedules us to attend your property periodically, so that we can address any recurring problems, before they become a reality. That way, we can be sure that your drains will always be clean, so you should never experience any surcharging.

Here are some typical signs that your drains may be blocked

Here are some of the effects of blocked drains

Property damage.

We’ve seen many scenarios, where a blocked drain has caused the sewer to surcharge inside the home, which has lead to carpets being flooded, furniture being ruined and appliances getting destroyed. Much of the time resulting in these items needing to be replaced and often at the expense of the resident. Things like carpets are very hard to clean and sanitise completely, once it has been drenched in dirty water, so often the only way to fix it, is to replace it.



Structural damage.

There was an instance in Lismore, where a blocked drain has been the cause of cracks in walls and ceilings. As drains leak water, they also suck in surrounding earth which compromises structural stability. This can be a huge expense and an engineering nightmare, sometimes resulting in sections of homes to be, excavated, propped, patched, or even rebuilt.



Loss of productivity.

TJM Plumbing has been called to jobs where a blocked sewer has forced warehouses and factories to stop operating. The unsanitary nature of a surcharging sewer will close your work place down if it’s affecting workers. There’s no way around it other than eliminating the problem and clearing the health risk, making it safe for people to return.
